Myriad Tribulations Stone Formation!
"What is that?"
Already distraught because the Stone Clan was facing annihilation, the Stone Clan Chief Shi Xiao could no longer remain calm when he saw this terrifying thing appear in the sky.
The fact that it was the Hun Clan who attacked their Stone Clan was something that almost everyone in the Stone Clan knew at this point.
But is there such a terrifying creature among the Hun Clan?
To be honest, nobody knew that before!
After all, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, apart from Xiao Lin and a few people around him, only Gu Yuan knows that the Nihility Devouring Flame is in the Hun Clan.
However, Gu Yuan kept this a secret.
As a result, no one else in the other Emperor Clans, or even within the Gu Clans, knew about this matter except for him.
It's no wonder that Shi Xiao, the patriarch of the Stone Clan, completely lost his composure upon the appearance of the Nihility Devouring Flame.
However, at the beginning, Shi Xiao did not recognize the identity of Nihility Devouring Flame.
But he was, after all, the patriarch of the Stone Clan, and possessed the strength of Six-Star Dou Sheng, so he was naturally not lacking in knowledge.
"This intense heat, surpassing even the Gu Clan Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, and that feeling that makes one's soul seem to be devoured with just a glance—there's no mistake, this is the Nihility Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!"
Realizing this, Shi Xiao's expression turned even more gloomy.
"Shi Xiao Chief Shi Xiao, you have quite the insight! Unfortunately, all you have is insight! On your way, now that I have appeared in your Stone Clan, it naturally signifies the end of your Stone Clan."
In the sky, the illusory and distorted human face opened and closed its mouth, and a muffled sound reached Shi Xiao's ears.
"The Hun Clan has impressive methods, and they've hidden themselves quite well! They even managed to find the Nihility Devouring Flame! But Nihility Devouring Flame, as Heavenly Flames created by heaven and earth, why do you collude with the Hun Clan?"
If I'm not mistaken, you haven't been subdued by the Hun Clan, have you?
No, it should be said that the Hun Clan doesn't have the ability to subdue you either!
So, what is your purpose?
At this moment, Shi Xiao, the patriarch of the Stone Clan, had already flown to the sky and looked directly at the distorted and illusory human face, asking a question.
Regarding whether the Nihility Devouring Flame had been refined by someone else, Shi Xiao could easily tell.
And that is indeed the case.
Although Nihility Devouring Flame's strength is indeed inferior to that of Hun Tiandi.
However, the current Hun Tiandi has no chance of refining the Nihility Devouring Flame; at most, he can only seal it.
It's worth noting that in the Original Work, even after Hun Tiandi became Dou Emperor, he didn't realize that the Nihility Devouring Flame within his body hadn't been completely refined.
Later, Xiao Yan even summoned the Nihility Devouring Flame with the phrase "In the name of Flame Emperor," transforming it into his own Heavenly Flames.
In fact, if the Hun Tiandi had already refined the Nihility Devouring Flame, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't be able to Nihility Devouring Flame with just a few words.
This shows just how difficult it is to refine the Nihility Devouring Flame.
"Why should a dying man know so much? However, since you want to know, I don't mind telling you, so you can die knowing the truth!"
Everything I've done is, of course, for the purpose of becoming Dou Emperor!
What Tou She Ancient God could do back then, I can also do!
The meaning behind Nihility Devouring Flame's words was already quite clear: he wanted to emulate Tou She Ancient God and become Dou Emperor with a body made of Heavenly Flames!
In the Original Work, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could activate the Ancient Emperor Stone Statue, allowing Xiao Yan to receive the inheritance of the Tou She Ancient God.
Therefore, there's no reason why Nihility Devouring Flame, who was in even better condition and stronger after leaving the Ancient Emperor's Cave, couldn't do it!
To be honest, if the Ancient Emperor's Cave opens and the Nihility Devouring Flame can obtain the Heavenly Flame Plaza, he does have a very high chance of obtaining the inheritance of the Tou She Ancient God.
At that time, the Nihility Devouring Flame, who will become Dou Emperor, is estimated to be even more powerful than the Hun Tiandi who just became Dou Emperor in the Original Work!
The reason why Nihility Devouring Flame cooperated with the Hun Clan was to obtain the inheritance of Tou She Ancient God.
Therefore, he also truthfully told the Hun Tiandi about the matter of the Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill.
The purpose was to divert the Hun Tiandi's attention.
In reality, the ancient emperor's legacy within the Ancient Emperor's Ancient Emperor's Cave is even more precious than that Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill!
"To become Dou Emperor? Your goal is the Tou She Ancient God Jade?"
As soon as the Nihility Devouring Flame finished speaking, Shi Xiao instantly realized something.
But at this moment, even if Shi Xiao realized this, he seemed to be at a loss!
"Since you know, then hand it over obediently, and I can make sure your entire Stone Clan dies without any pain!"
I don't know if it's because he's been hanging out with the Hun Clan for too long, Nihility Devouring Flame seems to have picked up the Hun Clan's classic villainous habit of talking too much...
"Hmph, you think you can make my Stone Clan surrender obediently? Nihility Devouring Flame, you're dreaming! Yan Mo!"
After letting out a cold snort, Shi Xiao revealed an expression of resignation to death.
His final shout was directed at Yan Mo below.
At the same time, Yan Mo, who was always ready, immediately activated the Stone Clan's protective formation after his clan leader's loud shout.
"Boom"
A dazzling light suddenly burst forth within the Stone Realm!
"Ha, a futile struggle."
Nihility Devouring Flame was not worried at all about the Yao Clan activating their protective formation.
After all, while the protective formations of the various Great Emperor clans are powerful, their full potential still depends on whether they can be unleashed.
It should be understood that the greatest power of the protective formations of the major Great Emperor clans is related to the strength of the person who is at the core of the formation.
In the Original Work, the Yao Clan's Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation was in use. Because the Yao Clan Chief Yao Dan, who was the array's core, was only at the Mid-Stage Seven-Star Dou Saint, the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul that he summoned could usually only exert the strength of the mid-to-late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm.
Although the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul later injured the Nihility Devouring Flame, don't forget that the Nihility Devouring Flame was fighting the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul while maintaining the isolation seal on the Medicine Realm.
Without the latter, the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul would have been defeated even faster!
The current patriarch of the Stone Clan, Shi Xiao, only possesses the strength of Mid-Stage Six-Star Dou Sheng. So, what level of power can the Stone Clan's protective formation possibly unleash?
Therefore, Nihility Devouring Flame had absolutely no worries.
If the patriarchs of the Lei and Yan Clans were to activate their respective clan's protective formations, then the Nihility Devouring Flame would have to retreat. But Shi Xiao, the mere patriarch of the Stone Clan, was someone he didn't even consider a threat.
"Buzz~"
At this moment, the Stone Clan's protective formation— the Myriad Tribulations Stone Formation —was finally fully activated.
Instantly, the entire Stone Realm trembled slightly.
At this moment, countless points of light suddenly appeared throughout the Stone Realm.
All these points of light converged behind Shi Xiao, the patriarch of the Stone Clan.
As more and more points of light converged, a phantom figure gradually began to solidify...
